Shouldn’t have mentioned it. What I’d like to know is if name of this ancient eastern game loses something in the translation. Are there any linguists in the house? My only tentative conclusion is that whoever named this game must be of high level genius character as the brightest of easterners are not the least bit funny. Look at Murakami.

In 2016, it is scientifically believed that everything is made up of numbers or can be represented by them. It is un-deniably true that, primarily through the invention of better measuring and visualization instruments, we keep finding smaller things previously unknown. Given that one small observation it is 99.9% certain that we will soon discover that the numbers are made up of something previously not seen. If you want to take the other side I’m willing to bet you a whole lot of money on it. Further, when that happens, a traditional physicist named T.T. Hindsight will titter mildly and say; “It was so retarded to have believed in the number theory which the Neanderthals did. It was such an easily discerned piece of faulty logic. Mankind determined that all existence was comprised of a concept he invented. I mean like Duh!!!” See ca. 1967 Jimi Hendrix’ ‘If Six Was Nine,’ and-or the possible precedent of ca. 1965 Bob Dylan’s ‘Ballad of a Thin Man.’
